Learn Slovene

LEARN SLOVENE IN MARIBOR – GENERAL INFORMATION

At AMIKUM you can learn Slovene effectively. We are specialized in teaching Slovene as a second foreign language. We offer individual courses of Slovene for foreigners and teach Slovene according to our own method and on the basis of our experience with foreigners from different countries.

Our experience teaches us that learning Slovene is not so difficult for foreigners who come from slavic countries (Ex Yugoslavia, Russia, Bulgaria, Ukraine). As these languages are somehow familiar to the Slovene language, learners are able to learn and speak Slovene in a few months.

For foreigners who come from German and Roman areas (France, Italy, Germany, England) Slovene is harder and takes more time to master it.

Our courses are based on a personal approach. Individuals can learn Slovene at their own pace. Our courses are tailor made for the needs of learners: content wise and time wise.

We have conceived our courses of Slovene language for absolute beginners, and for those who have already mastered the basics but want to further improve their speaking, reading and writing skills.

WHO CAN LEARN SLOVENE AT AMIKUM?

The course of Slovene language is appropriate for foreigners who live, study or work in Slovenia. It is also appropriate for foreigners who visit Slovenia for a short period of time (vacation, visiting relatives etc.). They can use their time to learn Slovene effectively.

We recommend it to: ♣ foreign students, ♣ foreign workers, ♣ their family members and ♣ for everyone who wants to learn and get acquainted with a new exotic language.

LEARN SLOVENE – TYPES OF COURSES

We offer three types of courses of Slovene language: ♣ Classical course of Slovene language (individual, in pairs and group course). ♣ Intensive course of Slovene language (individual or in pairs).

CLASSICAL INDIVIDUAL COURSE OF SLOVENE LANGUAGE FOR FOREIGNERS

More and more people choose the classical individual course of Slovene language for foreigners. At AMIKUM we therefore give special emphasis to the individual intensive course, since it is adapted to the learner’s time capabilities as well as his previous knowledge of Slovene.

The classical individual course of Slovene language for foreigners is intended for individuals and pairs.

The learner attains the knowledge of the language gradually, as the professor dedicates her time only to him. She adjusts the speed of learning, so that the learner can learn at his own pace. Any problems that appear when learning the language are solved promptly, therefore the learner progresses faster.

Why choose an individual course of Slovene language – 5 reasons:

♣ nice and experienced professor,

♣ stress-free study environment,

♣ individually arranged time of lessons (you don’t lose any hours),

♣ flexible time,

♣ more intense and faster learning.

Duration: 40 hours

Price: 20,00 EUR/h

Individual courses (for individuals and pairs) are held throughout the year.

INTENSIVE COURSE OF SLOVENE LANGUAGE

The intensive course of Slovene language for foreigners is carried out only individually and in pairs. It is conceived for individuals and pairs who cannot or want to attend group courses because of different obligations.

The intensive course of the Slovenian language is for those who: ♣ want to learn the basics of the Slovene language, ♣ want to learn Slovene quickly and intensively, ♣ want to refresh and improve the Slovenian language skills.

It is ideal for foreigners who come to Slovenia for a short period of time (family visits, holidays). They can learn Slovene in the meantime.

The content of the two intensive courses does not differ from the content of the classical language course. The intensive courses differ only by the intensity and the frequency of lessons.
